My fiancé and I have been regular customers at Boxcar for a long time, and every experience has been outstanding with our pastries and coffee. We have tried a large majority of their items and everything is delicious, you simply cannot go wrong. The owners and staff provide excellent customer service and greet us with warm welcomes every visit. The …
This place has absolutely divine baked goods. If we're being candid, the coffee drinks might be a 4 out of 5 as some of them are a little milder than I prefer, but it is so well worth it to stop in. I've loved everything I've eaten!
My goodness this place is phenomenal. Love the vibe, the aesthetic, the staff. I venture to Boxcar Bakery every Sunday for “pastry Sunday” and it is the highlight of my week. The scones are mind blowing, fluffy with a crisp outer edge. Strawberry basil scone is my current fav.
Boxcar has made my birthday cake for the past three years and it’s truly the best. Not overly sweet, great taste and unique flavors. I have also tried their sweets and they’re amazing, I especially love the almond croissant!
My first visit was EXCELLENT!! The Corn Chowder with Bacon, served with their house bread was amazing. Jess's ginger cookie was fantastic!! 😋 👌 😍
We purchased 2 birthday cakes one of which we had ordered before (carrot cake). The carrot cake was awesome though I did miss the little flower that was on it last time. Less crystal sugar in the middle of the cake and that was ok. The chocolate peanut butter cake was AMAZING also! You have very talented bakers. Please give …
We brought the family here on an early Saturday morning to grab a few pastries and some much-needed coffee. After hearing countless recommendations from friends and neighbors, we finally decided it was time to see what all the buzz was about — and we’re so glad we did! From the moment we walked in, we were warmly greeted by the …
Boxcar Bakery is such a cute bakery and coffee shop with an amazing pastry selection. They have staple items along with rotating pastry choices, so there’s always something new to try. Everything tastes and looks like it’s baked from scratch in house. They also have nice window seats that make it a great spot to sit, study, or just relax …
I think Boxcar Bakery may be one of the loveliest places in VT. The pastries are made with such detail and pride, and are also so creative and delicious. The place is also very cute, clean, and airy. The service is solid, and they always remember my name. It’s the perfect spot to study, have coffee with a friend, or …
Hands down one of the best bakeries I’ve come across, and honestly one of the last places I expected to find it — tucked away here in Vermont. Boxcar Bakery is a genuine surprise and a total standout. Fair warning: their famous orange cardamom bun sells out fast. We arrived around 10am and they were already gone — lesson learned …
